Relaxation Phenomena

Relaxation Phenomena is a thermodynamic process characterized by the time-dependent return of a system to equilibrium following a perturbation, distinguished within non-equilibrium and elastic thermodynamics by its focus on the transient, dissipative dynamics of internal variables evolving toward a steady state.
